MH-249 Caural - Mirrors For EyesCaural returns with Mirrors For Eyes, his second release for Mush, and the proper follow-up to his last cohesive full-length effort, 2002’s Stars On My Ceiling (Chocolate Industries). Continuing to build tracks of intricate sound splices over daring drum programming, Caural pushes the fine art of headphone music forward, with surprises around every beat. Hrishikesh Hirway, of One AM Radio, Paul Amitai, and Jacob Croegaert add stirringly sweet complimentary vocals to Caural’s already beautiful and melodic production on the tracks “Cold Hands,” “Cruel Fate of Spring,” and "Only Time Will Know," while Chicago MC Racecar, of the group Modill, laces “Lady” with a throwback rhyme in the spirit of Native Tongues. The brilliance of the instrumental passages and the standout guest vocal spots solidify Mirrors For Eyes as Caural’s most fully realized album to date.

Following on the success of his 2002 full-length for Chocolate Industries, Stars on My Ceilingm Zachary Mastoon, better known as Caural, takes another step forward with his second record for SoCal stalwarts, Mush. Pulling together intricate beat programming, wide-ranging instrumentation and the occasional rhyme, Mirrors for Eyes wraps the listener in a world that expands upon the expolrations revealed by repeated listens. That is to say, don't play this in the background while you're doing the dishes - slap the headphones on and put your feet up on the couch to enjoy the crashing kit drums and stuttering production tweaks of "Hallucination Broadcast," sink into your beanbag and be regaled by the round, boom-bap bounce of "I Won't Race You," and loll about on the rug while the crisp snares, reversed guitars, and lounge style organ of "Make Us Invisible" fill your mind. You'll be glad you stayed in. - BPM
